Currency trading is somewhat unusual in that the price reflects what is happening in two different currency zones. If we want to discuss how currencies relate to inflation, we should keep in mind that we should be talking about the inflation rate in the two currencies. For example, if the inflation rate in Canada is 2% and the inflation rate in the United ...

This year JPY hit new lows across the board in last few weeks even though BOJ decided to end its ultra-loose policy, by raising rates for 10bp in March. USDJPY broke higher, out of a triangle on a daily chart, so we know that this is most likely final leg with a higher degree wave III/C. In fact, there was a nice push up to 160 resistance not seen since ...

post: FED'S WILLIAMS: INFLATION CONTINUES TO MOVE LOWER post: FED'S WILLIAMS: NO COMMENT ON INTEREST RATE OUTLOOKConnecting Theory and Practice Good afternoon. It's wonderful to be back at Stanford—especially with John Taylor chairing this panel. John was my advisor during my studies here, and he hired me as his research assistant in the early '90s. It was an extraordinary privilege to have those two most wanted positions.

The Australian dollar initially tried to rally during the trading session on Thursday to break above the 50-Day EMA, only to turn around and show signs of negativity. Ultimately, this is a market that I think is trying to settle into some type of short-term range to get ahead of the nonfarm payroll announcement. Remember, this is a pair that has been ...
